madrobinsWe have our annual holiday party tomorrow. In preparation, while the Spouse has been cleaning his desk, adjusting the playlist for six hours of music, and washing the windows, I have been cooking.
I have made:
• Pumpkin bread
• Banana bread
• Gingerbread
• Orange-cranberry bread
• Shortbread and shortbread with crystalized ginger
• A couple of gallons of chili
• A 19 pound turkey
• A cake (my birthday's on Tuesday, and while it isn't a birthday party, there Will Be Cake, because, well: cake)
In addition, I went out and bought a wreath and much other food (cheese, veggies, the other sorts of food one has at parties, beer, cider, etc. etc.), did some preliminary cleaning of the kitchen. And the Spouse made his legendary spice cookies.
Tomorrow I bake the ham, buy the last minute breads and salad stuff, get everything organized and set up, clean the bathrooms and clean the kitchen (unless I can lay off some of those cleaning tasks to the assorted Young). All this before 2pm, when the open house starts.
The house smells awfully good right now.
